Answer:

The answer is 5470 grams of lead will be left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The half life of lead is 27 minutes

Now,

108/27 = 4

Here, we get the value 4 so, we divide the amount of lead by 4². i.e., 16

Now,

87520/16 = 5470

Thus, After 108 minutes 5470 grams of lead will be left.
